Derek Khor Boon Chun was apprehended six days after the Singaporean government listed etomidate, a sedative, as a Class C drug under the Misuse of Drugs Act. Authorities discovered Mr. Khor’s possession of vape pods containing etomidate within his possession on the morning of the incident. The discovery triggered an immediate investigation and subsequent charge against him. The legal action follows a previous investigation into similar incidents, reinforcing the law’s focus on controlling the misuse of controlled substances.
